Macadamia, mango and avocado salad

This salad is great on its own as a side dish or can be transformed into a complete meal by topping with cooked prawns. Roasted macadamia pieces bring a unique crunch and flavour that make it a stand-out, and it makes an impressive, yet simple and healthy addition to a Christmas buffet, pairing perfectly with a baked ham.
